Wen-Wen ranged or melee weapon

[Oberan]

ok the current wen wen uses ranged energy

BUT it checks vs evade clsc and has a multi melee requirement (not to mention the low range). Doesn't this mean it is supposed to require melee energy to equip not ranged energy???

Likewise consider this is very similar to the breathing space

The breathing space used to be ranged energy but was changed to its current form of melee energy

So which is it funcom. Is the wen-wen supposed to be ranged energy or melee energy?

Its obvious that its wrong in one way or another.

Cosmic made a post about wenwens getting fixed in 14.6. So Im guessing its a broken ranged weapon. It looks awfully cool just hovering there over my shoulder, but it sure would be nice if it =did= something....

An interesting side note, wenwen has apparently been in the DB from the git, its mentioned in the Sybex stratagy guide. Under mech engeneering weapons, of all things. Apparently, FC cant decide just =what= the little buggers are supposed to do =)

It does do something, it makes a swirly purple spiral thing spin around you when you fight (sometimes) but doesnt seem to register any additional damage.

it HAS a perception bonus, which helped my little agent equip a ql 101 vision enhancer 1 lvl before he normally could.

Please DON'T fix them.

I don't want to have to take mine off just because every third mob has a 91pt damage shield and every fourth mob has a reflect shield.

That and theres a boss mob type that loves to get some 150+ damage shield stacked with RRFE and more hps than T.

Oh yeah, multiple weapon sliders love to screw with each other. Its not usually a problem with melee weapons, but with ranged it can ruin your week. (Earth to FC: 2 guns = fire twice as fast. Supposed to gain something from raising a skill)
